Here ya go. The black frame that surrounds the mirror is broken. I have the piece but I'm not going to to ghetto krazy glue it back on. Also the gray colored part that matches the cars color has a small chip on it. It also won't go back together. The mirror motor is fine and it also folds in. Hope these pics help
